We had scheduled an appointment with the vet that afternoon, so we were trying our best to enjoy our last few moments with him as best we could. Geno held him most the day as it was just too hard for me. I took Annie for a walk, showered, and did some house work as Geno lay with him on the couch. I stopped in every few minutes to pet him and kiss him, but couldn't bare to think about what the day would bring. Geno handed Buddy off to me to hold while he showered and got ready to go. Not long after Buddy passed away in my arms, just an hour before we were going to take him to the vet.
I've never been so overwhelmed with sadness, but looking back through photos of his life as I was writing the last post and this one I realize that it is best. He had such a wonderful life and was so loved. The last few months he has not been himself and I'm afraid we were hanging on for ourselves. Even if we were, he passed at home with the two people that loved him more than anything and I wouldn't change that.
Goodbye Buddy...
